Hi Helen. I've noticed ur questions a couple times, but wasn't sure I could help. I feel like u r overwhelmed by everything. R u talking with ur Dr? I have been in ur shoes emotionally. My love died & I moved to unknown place. I ended up with counseling for a year, it helped. Later I got OP diagnosis & had much anxiety & went on medication, it helped. My Dr also keeps telling me to drink more water as I have had 4 bouts of vertigo with the banging sound in my ears. Water & rest have helped. For a time when I lost my love, I couldn't sleep. For a time I used med to help me go to sleep, it helped.Did u get
to go with ur friends around June 8th or so? That helps for a time. Recently Dr sent me to physical therapy for balance & strengthen muscles which can help with pain. Most of my pain is from osteoarthritis I believe. I take extra strength acetaminophen. I use otc pain patches or roll-on of menthol or lidocaine cause that does not go against my bones. I'm going to leave u with this info before I accidently deleted it. May send another post later. Listen to some good music & sing & dance. Even church music. Love & hugs. London ♥️

Dear Helen, I take great interest in your case and I don't push religion but I have ministers even calling me asking me to pray for them as my prayers do get answered and I am praying for you. Prolia as far as I can see is the best bone medicine and my friend who is 80 has been on it for years and no problem and a lot of her friends are on it with no problem. It is an injection you can get every 6 months. I have doctors calling me asking my advice on osteoporosis but have you had a MRI or cat scan or X ray done to see just what is wrong. I can tell you all kinds of things natural that build bone in an amazing way. My aunt would not listen to me and she died of osteoporosis while on a bone building drug. I had panic attacks and at age 39 was diagnosed with chronic anxiety neurosis and turned into bi polar yet did 4 years university and am an accomplished violinist and had my picture in the paper. I got over fibromyalgia a severe case I had for 20 years got over it 14 years ago taking certain supplements and many other incurable illnesses. I finally had to get on seroquel for anxiety as it was so bad I could not get down the hall to the elevator. I was stuck in my apartment for 30 years. I used to work for the crown attorneys at the dept of justice. I also got over final stage emphysema and COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. Got over glaucoma dry eye disease acute liver failure and found something to correct my severe diabetes. Maybe I am a rare case but it seems like I can do anythiing I had a stroke diagnosed on a cat scan 2 years ago and even was told there was ischemic brain damage and I healed myself of the brain damage taking high doses of choline and the doctors had to admit later after the MRI there was no evidence of stroke or brain damage.

Dear Helen, I think there is lots on the internet about natural cures for sciatica but one I saw is called painfreefoundation.com and I think it is free and you could see if it is in England and they tell you how to treat sciatica. It may not be the one for you but do tell me what you have in the way of illnesses and if you are diabetic that can cause pain as well as osteoporosis and diabetic neuropathy. I am diabetic and have found something that I think will get me off medication. Keep in touch dear.
